Deprecated, please use the Victron MPPT library which includes support for MPPT and Smartshunt or BMV.
ESPHome component to monitor a Victron BMV and SmartShunt via ve.direct / UART TTL
All BMV and SmartShunt providing a ve.direct port.
- Victron SmartShunt 500A/50mV
- ESPHome 2021.10 or higher.
- Generic ESP32 or ESP8266 board

If you are unsure about to pin order please measure the voltage between GND and VCC (5V/3.3V). If you measure a positive voltage you know the position of VCC and GND!
Pin | Purpose | ESP pin |
